VOTE FOR US AT K AWARDS

4.7.2008

ok, so i've been learning bohemian rhapsody on every instrument in the world and i'm taking a break to ask for help. not with the solo, with this whole voting thing for the kerrang awards.

here's a step by step guide to winning us a gong guh gong gong gong.
if you're still on dial-up i pity you. this will likely kill you and your computer.

1. open up a new tab or window on your respective browsers. if you're using internet explorer, you're a damn fool. yes, i'm nerd enough to have browser preference.

2. insert "www.kerrangawards.com/awards/" into the relevant text box. this is what we in the know call a "hyperlink". hitting enter or the green arrow will result in you embarking on a magical voyage through cyberspace and cybertime. when you get to that site, read step 3. do not read it a second before or bad things will happen.

3. "oh no! i have to type my details in this awfully time-consuming and intrusive form?" that's right, sport. just enter your deets, quit your whining and move on with your life. it asks for some personal info but it's nothing to risque and there's no need to use the word 'inches' anywhere, so you're fine. you don't need to ask the bill payer's permission.

4. aah, progress. you will now find yourself in the foyer of opportunity. a precipice of potential award winning glory. in this grand entrance hall, you'll find a number of categories. now, technically, we are deserving of all of those. HOWEVER, we do believe in a level playing field and want to give other bands like metallica and rage against the machine a chance to win stuff. thus, we are only asking you to vote in 4 categories. greedy? yes. bothered? no.

5. to begin, click 'best british band'. oooh, another text box to overcome. type 'kids in glass houses' here. if you find yourself typing the name of another band, you're doing it wrong and you need to hit backspace until it goes away. remember now... kids. in. glass. houses. no substitutes, no mercy. click submit.

6. voila. good deed number one is complete. kerrang says thank you.

"THANKS FOR VOTING KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES
Click here to vote again"

if that bit says "THANKS FOR VOTING BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE", go fuck yourself, idiot.

7. repeat this process for the 'best single' and 'best video' (type 'kids in glass houses - give me what i want' in both categories).

8. finally, click on 'best album' and type 'kids in glass houses - smart casual'. double check that. is it right? good. submit that sucker.

9. ok, when i said finally just now, i was lying. now that you've mastered the wonders of a voting system, exploit it like robert mugabe. that doesn't mean i want you to plunder your country's money and leave the population to stir in abject poverty. neither does it mean i want you to murder the competition and it's followers (although...). no. i jest. it just means i want you to vote for us over and over because you can.

10. feel proud that we might be in with a chance of winning a metal K. if you do this regime every day for 2 weeks, you'll drop a jean size.


on the real, though. we'd really, really appreciate it if you could take the time to vote so that we're at least in with a chance. you guys have been awesome for us in the past and we have complete faith that you can come through this time. winning an award is a testament to your support for us, so, technically, YOU'D be winning an award for being an awesome supporter. everyones a winner.

thank you in advance, comrades!
